First place on line
in the Big Ten West

There is still plenty of season left, but Wisconsin’s matchup with Nebraska on Saturday will give the winner the inside track
to claiming the Big Ten West title and going to the conference championship game.
Jesse Temple has more on what’s at stake in Lincoln.

Injury update on Troy Fumagalli

The Badgers were without All-Big Ten tight end Troy Fumagalli against Northwestern, and while the leg injury that kept him
out is improving it’s unclear if he will be available against Nebraska,
according to coach Paul Chryst.

Tyler Herro recruiting

He hasn’t even signed his national letter of intent yet, but 4-star shooting guard Tyler Herro is putting in work to bring
more big-time players to Wisconsin’s campus. Herro, the Badgers lone commitment in the Class of 2018, took his official visit
last weekend, doing so at the same time that prized 2020 small forward Jalen Johnson was there on an unofficial visit. Herro
used social media on Sunday and Monday to make it clear to Johnson how much he woud like him as a future teammate.

Why Donte Burton committed

Cornerback Donte Burton became the 19th commitment in the Class of 2018 for Wisconsin, giving his verbal pledge last weekend.
He said it was a decision made easy after loving every minute of his official visit,
writes Jesse Temple.

Purdue game time set

Wisconsin
announced its game on Oct. 14 against Purdue will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET and be televised on the Big Ten Network.

Nebraska calls for a blackout

Few environments will be more charged than the one Wisconsin will face Saturday night at Memorial Stadium, a place that has
seen Nebraska win 20 straight night games. To add to it, the student section has declared the game a blackout, calling for
all Huskers fans to wear black. The
tweet making the declaration was accompanied by the hashtag #BlackoutWisconsin.
